Hello.
I have installed a hurricane distribution and I wanted to use the
IP aliasing feature of the graphical net configurator.
Ok.
I wanted on my ethernet adaptater to support two ip subnet,
one in 195.6.130.64 netmask 255.255.255.240 and one
192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
The former is something like a public IP domain, and the latter
one a 'private'. This is not the point anyway. I wanted to
use the 195.6.130.66 IP for real and 192.168.10.12 as a virtual IP
for my adaptater.
So I set-up a network configuration with the graphical tool,
but the route were always false. For the Virtual IP, the route were
IP=192.168.10.12 Netmask=255.255.255.255, route type : Host.
But I never mentionned such things to the graphical configurator,
the 'virtual' netmask was set-up to 255.255.255.0
So I looked at the ifup script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts,
and there is a 'if' condition that make a virtual IP a host route only :
# if [ "$ISALIAS" = no ] ; then
route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} ${DEVICE}
# else
# route add -host ${IPADDR} ${DEVICE}
# fi
I have added the comment ('#' char) myself to prevent this.
Is this behaviour NORMAL ? Why Ifup has been coded like that ?
